Dave Price (born October 18, 1966, Poughkeepsie, New York) was a reporter and weatherman for CBS's The Early Show until he and Maggie Rodriguez were let go in an effort to boost last place ratings.

Before his broadcasting career, Price spent eight years as a corporate human resources executive; his broadcasting career began at WSEE-TV in Erie, Pennsylvania as a morning and noon weathercaster. From 1996-98, he joined CBS affiliate WBBM-TV in Chicago as morning weather anchor and feature reporter. From 1998-99, Price was the host of Fox WTXF-TV's morning show Good Day Philadelphia. From 1999-2003, he worked as a weatherman/co-host for WNYW-TV/Fox 5 New York; for his final eight months, he worked as a feature reporter for the syndicated program Good Day Live.

Before Price came to The Early Show in 2003, he guest-starred as a consumer that was stranded during a robbery on Yes, Dear. In 2003, Price joined CBS News' The Early Show as a weather anchor and reporter replacing Mark McEwen. He also was the weather anchor for CBS 2 News This Morning on WCBS-TV in New York until 2006. And he occasionally fills in for Harry Smith on The Early Show. After Bob Barker announced his retirement from The Price Is Right late in 2006, Price auditioned as a replacement. In fact, Gary Hundley observed and watched Dave Price audition on The Price Is Right in December 2006. Hundley thought Price did an excellent job during the auditions and thought Price would be a good fit for The Price Is Right. Despite not getting the job there, he did host a week of shows on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? for the week of March 3-7, 2008.^{[citation needed]}

Price graduated from Poughkeepsie High School in 1983 and graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial and Labor Relations in 1987, and from Columbia University with a master's degree in organizational psychology.
